UE freezes when trying to setup RVT

UE5.2. I was having the same issue. RX6900XT with a 5k map using world partition.
As this was very annoying, I progressed slowly trying to get one setting at a time and saving until I got a Hang.

  1. Created RVT_Material and RVT_Height
  2. Added RVTV_Height and RVTV_Height to world.
  3. Added Virtual Textures to Landscape “Draw in Virtual Textures”
  4. Set the Bounds Align Actor to Landscape in each of the Height and Material RVTV’s
  5. Set the Virtual Texture RVT_Material to the Material Volume.
  6. Used Set Bounds on the Material Volume.
  7. Copied and pased this to the Height Volume.
    One more step…
    At this point any attempt to set the RVT_Height to the Height volume would result in the editor to hang.

Using the method describe above, to select the RVT in content browser worked, but if the content browser was already set to the folder with the RVT’s had with the RVT Volume already selected in the outliner then the editor would hang . If I have the landscape selected in the outliner, then go to the content browser (still filtered to the RVT’s) and select the RVT, then select the volume in the outliner and then use the arrow to apply the RVT, it worked.

Hopefully, this can be fixed.
Now to proceed to see if there are any other issues, but at least they are set.

EDIT/UPDATE:
So advancing to create and setup the Texture sample in my landscape material the same issue presents itself when trying to assign the RVT to the Runtime Virtural Texture Sample Node. Trying to get this set but not successful yet… :frowning:

UPDATE AGAIN:
Using the pop up content browser, ie not pinned, selecting the RVT_Material, then in my landscape material adding the Runtime Virtual Texture Sample node I was able to use the arrow to assign the RVT. However, if the Node was already on the graph and then go to the content browser editor would hang.

FURTHER UPDATE:
THIS IS NOT READY FOR USE. I am sorry, but while I managed to get the properties set, and the material to populate the RVT the resolution is no good. I tried to redo it with a revised number and size of tiles (1024 x 1024) for number and size of tiles, then deleted and reset everything and same result. Also, in several instances just clicking on the the RVT in the content browser will cause the editor to hang. Done wasting time on this.
